Just to go back over a couple of earlier comments – he could never have run in the Ebor or the Northumberland Plate based on just two races, even though he’d been given a handicap mark. To run in any class 2 handicap, you must have raced three times minimum on the flat.
The PR rubbish in the Post is getting ridiculous – he isn’t going to win a Listed race and he’d never be qualified to run in the Melbourne Cup, even if he was good enough, which he isn’t. Unless the Victoria Racing Club wanted a novelty contestant for the publicity value! A sort of “I’m a hurdler, get me out of here”
I was looking forward to going to Windsor on Saturday evening – as a life long Spurs fan, I certainly don’t want to be at home watching their game against Newcastle! But if Clown Central at Seven Barrow declare him for Windsor on Thursday, it’ll be a madhouse.
